Immigration needs to be done carefully to take into account:
Available housing and
and the state of :
the roads,
Hospitals,
Schools,
The amount of crime/ violence,
The number of jobs available,
and Govt services.
So far so good.

'A high proportion of public housing,
a high proportion of migrants and
a high proportion of unemployment,
in any city in the world that is a recipe for disaster,'
Indeed, except for "the high proportion of public housing"; Oz sold most of its public housing during the last three decades, due to neoliberal 'small government' orthodoxy, so now people are sleeeping in tents and cars.
[Of course, high rise public housing, tenanted by welfare dependents is a recipe for disaster; public housing should be in the form of separate dwellings scattered through- out suburbs, like most private housing.)
But here's the thing: the 'high proportion of unemployment' is not easy to solve when orthodox fools like Bullock are deliberately trying to increase unemployment, thereby entrenching long-term unemployment among welfae recipients.
Quote: Western Sydney University Dr Mike Kennedy said.
'The governments leave it to the police to deal with so they don't have to accept responsibility.'
Indeed - because governments are locked into the dysfunctional neoliberal "small government' orthodoxy, which means they can never find the funds to eradicate poverty-level welfare dependency (since none of us like paying higher taxes).
Any ideas?
